Hi all, Yep... I was playing for the team... always up-front tanking damage just behind DDs (and CLs when we didn't have DDs)... BTW, all 4 victories were great team work (communication and coordination) that resulted in total annihilation of enemy team (i.e. all killed) while our team was full 7 or 6 or 5 left at the end! Defeats were other story - they were bitter struggle against the overwhelming odds with almost zero communication and coordination (one game we had 7:5 at the start with 2 enemy DDs killed immediately - just 5 enemy BBs were left - but we lost anyway because our DDs were unable to torpedo hit anything - I still can't believe how on Earth that happened)...

Hi all, Ouch... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I did that this afternoon... will see what happens on Monday when they open shop... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Tell me about it... I started at Rank #17 (due to my position in last "Ranked") and, in theory I needed just 2 easy victories to reach Rank #15 (and Tier VIII's)... well... it took 7 battles... 4 victories 3 defeats (I was 1st in one and kept my start, I was 2nd in one other and almost saved my star and I was 3rd in the last one when whole team disintegrated after we were 7:5 and killed all enemy DDs - I still can't understand how on Earth that happened) It feels just like slow dance - 1 victory - 1 loss, 1 victory - 1 loss, 1 victory - 2 losses, 2 victories - 1 loss ...

Hi all, I posted this in "Season 5 - Show off your High Scores" http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/63345-season-5-show-off-your-high-scores/ Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Good old "New Mexico".... the "Old Reliable"... BTW, it was real struggle to get to Rank #15 (and Tier VIII's) because the Rank #23-#16 is populated with same class of players... dear Lord... NOTE: Please ignore the "Rank #17" - it is "Rank #15" (the "WoWs Stats & Numbers" is always late with updating current player's rank - sometime up to 24 hours late) Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Thanks guys! But it is just 1 seconds of faster reload! In other words even if I fire continuously (which I am not in most cases) it would mean just 1 more salvo every 14 salvos (i.e. 14 x 14 seconds = 196 seconds = 3.2 minutes)... And I really really try to wiggle as much as possible (at times it seems that everyone in enemy team wants to kill me and me alone whenever I am spotted) - the turret rotation is very handy then and very handy when hunting DDs (this is something I always do with my cruisers and this is the reason why I have lower than average damage in cruisers - I hunt DDs and engage enemy CA/CLs whilst almost never HE spamming enemy BBs)...

Hi all, I kept both my "Colorado" in Tier VII (with 14 point captain) and "New Mexico" in Tier VI (with 14 point captain) - I extensively used them in last "Ranked"! I will surely use "New Mexico" again in this season (although I need to do just 1 rank in Tier VI - the rest will be Tier VIII for which I will be using "Tirpitz" and "North Carolina" I also have but they have 15 point captains)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I unlocked and bought all upgrades except the "Rate of Fire" / "Turret Traverse" (20.000 Credits) and I am slowly moving towards Baltimore"... So... do yo use the "Rate of Fire" / "Turret Traverse" (20.000 Credits) or not - for me it seems useless (1 second reload time improvement for slower turret rotation)? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Still no flags (i.e. I earned only flags and flags alone so my reward for the time being is and was nothing when I press "Check")... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I definitively earn more (and lose less) with my Tier VIII's "Tirpitz" and "North Carolina" but with my "New Orleans" it is the same (i.e. poor flimsy cruiser in Tier VIII fighting Tier IX and Tier X simply can't earn anything and only lose credits)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I also got the e-mail and I should have gotten the flags but nothing is available yet (i.e. "Check" says nothing is available for me but it should be)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Thanks for info (countryman)! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, With new v0.5.12 we now have "Potential Damage" ("Tanking") included in the economy! When I play my higher tier BBs (for example Tier VIII "Tirpitz" and "North Carolina") I tend to be up close and in the heat of the battle all the time (i.e. never camp or snipe ). Yesterday I had time for only 4 BB battles and I did OK (earned credits in all but one game when I was surprised in my "Tirpitz" by "Fubuki" from behind) and with 1.500.000 - 2.500.000 "Potential Damage" ("Tanking") damage score in each of the 3 successful games. Now I am wondering how much did that (rather high I suppose) "Potential Damage" ("Tanking") bring into economy calculation (for XP and Credits)? Anyone knows? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Keep us informed! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Yes I meant 60% - 70% up to "Ranked" ladder... But I did have reasonably good WinRate in my "Ranked" in all seasons that I participated (60%+ except in the last one which was just horrible grind - it was around 55% IIRC)! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Those are exactly my feelings as well... but I "made my peace" about "Ranked" after 1st season anyway... I know in advance that I will get to 60%-70% and acquire all the flags and other goodies that I can reach but that Rank #1 is most definitively our of reach due to RealLife ™... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, North Carolina is actually 11.8 km (and not 11.5 km) - sorry ... Thanks for info about Iowa concealment! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, One other thing guys that I forgot to mention in my opening post... I have 15+ Captain in my "North Carolina" and with Cammo + "Concealment Module" + "Concealment Expert" Captain skill it has detectability of under 11.5 km... It is seriously dangerous "silent" killer if you approach your target unknowingly... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Lets hope - fingers crossed! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I never got to PayPal Login - the WG site had problem connecting to it from FireFox and/or MSIE - only Chrome worked for me (same as only Chrome worked when I applied for "Public Test" many many months ago)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Yep... still out of order... Leo "Apollo11" P.S. With Chrome all is OK... strange that WG always has problems with FireFox...
